【 摘 要 】

Artemisia annua L. is a plant with high artemisin in contents which can treat malaria disease. A proper cultivation method is necessary to improve its growth and development in middle altitude plain. Organic materials addition such as compost increases plant growth. This research aimed to know the effect of compost and mycorrhiza to the growth of Artemisia annua in middle altitude plain. The research method used Completely Randomized Design with two factors and 3 replications. The first factor is compost dosage with 4 levels 0, 40, 60, 80 g/plant and mycorrhiza dosage with 3 levels: 0, 10 and 20 g/plant. Observed variables included plant height, number of branches, age of flower emerges, root volume, root length, fresh weight of plant, dry weight of plant and mycorrhiza infection percentage. The research results showed that treatment of compost 40 g/plant resulted in the highest plant height, number of branches, fresh weight and dry weight of plant, the addition of 20 g/plant mycorrhiza gave the highest plant height, the number of branches and mycorrhizae infections percentage but has the lowest yield of fresh weight and dry weight of plant and there is no interactions were found between dosage of compost and mycorrhiza.
